THE SLEEVE
THE SUPERB FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS SOME MINOR WEAR TO THE LAMINATED FRONT, WHERE THERE IS ALSO ONE SLIGHT CREASE AND A FEW SMALL WRINKLES HERE AND THERE. THERE IS SOME MINOR DISCOLOURATION TO THE REAR.
THE VINYL
VISUALLY THE HEAVY GLOSSY VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION WITH SOME VERY LIGHT HAIRLINE MARKS AND SCUFFS. I HAVE PLAYED BOTH SIDES AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY SUPERB. THERE IS SOME VERY OCCASIONAL AND VERY SLIGHT BACKGROUND INTERFERENCE DURING BOTH SIDES.
THE LABELS
THE BLACK & SILVER DECCA LABELS WITH THE WIDE BAND ARE BOTH IN NEAR MINT- CONDITION. THERE ARE ONLY ONE OR TWO TINY SPINDLE MARKS.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM
MINT (M) THE RECORD ITSELF IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS OR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND ANY EXTRA ITEMS SUCH AS THE LYRIC SHEET, BOOKLET OR POSTER ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. RECORDS ADVERTISED AS SEALED OR UNPLAYED SHOULD BE MINT.
EXCELLENT (EX) THE RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND PACKAGING MIGHT HAVE SLIGHT WEAR AND/OR CREASING.
VERY GOOD (VG) THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES, BUT DISPLAYS NO MAJOR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY, DESPITE NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS AND THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE COVER OR EXTRA ITEMS, WITHOUT ANY MAJOR DEFECTS, IS ACCEPTABLE.
GOOD (G) THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED SO MUCH THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS NOTICEABLY DETERIORATED, PERHAPS WITH SOME DISTORTION AND MILD SCRATCHES. THE COVER AND CONTENTS SUFFER FROM FOLDING, SCUFFING OF EDGES, SPINE SPLITS, DISCOLOURATION, ETC.
THE USE OF PLUS (+) OR MINUS (-) ALLOWS FOR ITEMS THAT FALL BETWEEN THE ABOVE GRADES.
